Surviving the Helicopter

[Capra Irata]

Sooo... that helicopter. You know, *that* one, in the room with the T-Rex fossil.

Is there some sort of trick to staying alive when you have to run from the chopper? I want to see this game through to the end but this one part keeps making me hesitant to relaunch the game. XD If anyone could give me some insight, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Press Space to run and hold Shift if you play with keyboard and run - run - run, until you survive this. Nothing else to do. I also needed a few tries.

Just run like hell

First of all: just run, don't jump over that boxes right before you after the cutscene. For me it was easier to run left from them, even though this was closer to the chopper.

When i was there playing on hard (suicide mission) i turned it down to medium (combat Op) after ~10 tries.

fool prrof way tested by myself 8 tries from 10, just after the cutscene with the hellas soon as the que beggins just tap the space bar to run no need to hold it ffs use your forward key and toggle slightly to left and right edge (u do know u can do a 360 practically with movement keys and space bar ya:) keep close to the left and keep running till u get to the stairs and stay at the right hand side as u run down the slope jobs simple even on fubar i did it 1st try

Alright, thanks for all the advice guys! I guess persistence is the key here. XD

Пидору, который этот уровень сделал, вырвать руки и выебать в рот. Как это блядство пройти на мясорубке???

Just keep running, veering right into a tunnel after the main set of window. Go up the stairs, turn right, RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. This section seem kind of a PITA if you get the pathing just a little off. It took me about 10 tries to get through it for some reason. Just keep trying.

20 tries and no resoult... somebody who made this sequence is a idiot!

[Park501]

after about 20 deaths running either side (only surviving first floor once before getting killed on second), turns out the couch near your squad mate can be jumped, lived first try jumping over it, also do not stop at any point even when your under the stairs as it messes up the "action sequence" (what should have been in all rights just a cut scene as you have no agency in the matter, black mark on a otherwise good game...one day they will learn not to have a unskipable cutscene right after a savepoint)

Been trying to beat it on Suicide Mission for 10 damn minutes, got desperate and decided to read about it.

Here's a trick which worked out for me: right after the helicopter attack scene ends and you get up from the ground, don't sprint right away - run at your normal speed for 2-4 seconds, and then start sprinting. Helped me do it in a single attempt.

Reached the helicopter run on FUBAR today and the strategy I've posted above doesn't work at all. I want you to help me test something here.

If you're an Nvidia user, go to your Nvidia control panel, and change the Vsync setting for the specopstheline.exe to "Adaptive (half refresh rate)". See if it makes the helicopter run easier for you. If it does - then we'll have something to work with. Posting any results will be appreciated.

This might seem weird, but earlier helicopter have been killing me at 1/3 of the way, and after applying the setting it took me one attempt without any nonsense to reach the escape route. My guess is that it has something to do with target FPS being 30 for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and the helicopter raining way more hell on higher FPS values, but that's just it - a guess that fits with no actual proof.

sorry to bump an ancient thread, but after ~20 failed attempts, I just turned on vsync. First try. If you're having the problem where the heli mows you down before you can get past the first window, no matter what route you take, make sure vsync is on, or you are otherwise capping your FPS.

It's pretty easy, just run.
I couldn't figure out what it was on my first playthrough (Compat OP), but then it was a cakewalk. I got it on my first try on Suicide Mission.
